TEJA (1156) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - FEB 21, 2013
Bottle from Systembolaget, Sweden. Big white head with strange big bubbles that makes it almost lika deturgent! Light amber color and a bit opaque. Nice aroma from tangerines. Fine malt base with some caramell but only enough to balance the bitterness and to make it enoyable.

Clear amber beer with a decent pale cream coloured head. Palate is semi soft and semi dry. A little hop skunk and bitter pine and then great fruits. Mango and fruit salad sweets - slightly sharp. Smooth finish with a mellow bitter linger. This is the flavour I heard described the first time I heard about Galaxy hops - but none of the beers really delivered it until now. Nice one Brewdog!

Second time I tried this one and its actually a lot better than I remember. Pours a dark copper orange. Very smooth fruity aroma. Very balanced hoppiness. Good beer.
